This report analyzes and synthesises the findings of the ILO-HEI research programme on “Strengthening Employment in Response to Conflicts and Natural Disasters”, emphasising concrete recommendations and guidelines for international action to respond to the employment and related socio-economic challenges of crises worldwide.

The project and this report focus on three interlinked axes of work identified by previous research and international consultations as of priority concern: 1) boosting private sector development in crisis contexts and engaging private actors and social partners in crisis response interventions; 2) supporting the resilience and coping strategies of crisis-affected groups; and 3) strengthening early warning systems for conflict and natural disaster prevention, preparedness and monitoring.

A participatory process among major stakeholders and experts at the local and international levels ensured innovative and practical outputs. The report details three phases in the research project: the development of a detailed research agenda, the implementation of research through 14 case studies at the national and local levels, and the synthesis of the knowledge acquired in three synthesis studies and the present report (see annex).

This analytical report provides a synthesis of the main findings and recommendations as relevant to international operations that emerge from the seventeen papers produced and the proceedings of the concluding International Conference. Major transversal orientations and cross-cutting issues emerging from this work are offered below.
